So, this is just (ha ha , I say "just" like it's easy for me, or something) an HD transfer so my new tower has the old HD in it? I like this option, the other ones scare me (regardless of whichever one is best).

I assume I can also transfer/toss in new audio/video cards and transfer my modem card as well?

Yes, exactly. Tell the builders what you're planning and they'll even put the HD cables in for you ahead of time and label them "put C: here, D: here, DVD here."

Onboard audio is pretty standard.

PCI modem cards emulate the DSP or something in CPU; a used external modem will cost upwards of $15 and save you cycles.

Transferring a video card is easy enough that describing it is beneath me.

Ray!
